✦ Synopsis

low-molecular-weight reactive fluoropolymers under the PolyFox brand name. Omnova has also introduced a line of electronic-grade fluorosurfactants and fluorochemicals for the semiconductor coatings industry [ibid, Apr 2009]. Sustainability is also a growing trend in the surfactants market. Manufacturers that can offer sustainable, higher-performance products at similar or lower cost than traditional alternatives will have the highest prospects for growth. The use of renewable raw materials is one way of developing sustainable products. The surfactants' hydrophilic portion can be formulated using biobased raw materials, such as starchand cellulose-derived products, including saccharides and glycols obtained via fermentation.
